In this FAQ, you\u2019ll find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our company.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
About efa<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n
efa supports OEMs, system integrators and operators in the design and integration of innovative solutions. Its expertise covers, in particular, electrification<\/a>, power management<\/a>, control systems<\/a>, radio control<\/a>, remote operation<\/a>, sensing<\/a>, on-board vision<\/a> and autonomous navigation.<\/div>\n\n
\n
Depending on the project, efa can be involved from the initial definition of requirements and selection of components right through to cabling, integration, testing and commissioning.<\/div>\n\n
Electrification and motorisation<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n
This powertrain may include, in particular, an electric motor, a drive controller, a battery, a power distribution system, protective devices and control electronics.
efa supports projects involving the full or partial electrification of mobile machines and commercial vehicles.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
The architecture can then incorporate a battery, a power management and distribution system, an inverter, an electric motor, high-voltage safety systems and control and command components.
efa supports manufacturers and integrators in defining and integrating this electrical architecture.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
This design can offer advantages in terms of compactness, power density and mechanical integration, depending on the application.
The axial-flux motor can therefore be an attractive solution for certain applications involving the electrification of industrial vehicles, mobile machinery and specialised machinery.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
In particular, it may include the battery, the power distribution system, the inverter, the electric motor, the control systems and the high-voltage safety devices.
efa can assist with the integration of these various components into an architecture tailored to the machine\u2019s specific requirements.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Depending on the project, electrification may involve the entire powertrain or just certain functions of the machine, such as a pump, a bucket, an auxiliary system or on-board equipment.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
Batteries, power and high voltage<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n
In an industrial electrical system, the PDU can incorporate switching, protection, measurement and power distribution functions.
efa develops and integrates PDUs tailored to the specific requirements of industrial vehicles and mobile machinery.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
In particular, it monitors the continuity of a safety circuit associated with high-voltage components. Should a monitored component open or become disconnected, the system can detect the situation and trigger the safety measures specified by the vehicle\u2019s architecture.
The HVIL thus helps to ensure the safety of high-voltage systems found, in particular, in electric vehicles and electrified mobile machinery.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
In particular, it can be integrated with high-voltage connectors, electrical enclosures, batteries or power distribution units.
Its integration must be defined in accordance with the vehicle\u2019s electrical architecture and safety functions.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Depending on requirements, the architectures may include PDUs, protection and switching components, battery management systems, high-voltage components and monitoring devices such as the HVIL.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
Control and command systems and interfaces<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n
Depending on the application, a joystick can be configured with multiple axes, buttons, proportional functions, connectors and communication protocols such as the CAN bus.
efa provides support with the selection and integration of joysticks tailored to the specific requirements of mobile machinery.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
In particular, the CAN bus enables the various control units, sensors and actuators to communicate within the vehicle\u2019s electronic architecture.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
It may incorporate a screen, buttons, touch controls, indicators and various components for communicating with on-board electronic systems.
efa offers HMI solutions tailored to the requirements of mobile industrial applications.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
Radio control and wireless communication<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n
It can be used, in particular, for cranes, lifting equipment, industrial machinery, mobile machinery, railway applications or vehicles where the operator needs to be some distance away from the machine.
efa offers AUTEC radio control solutions. AUTEC is an Italian manufacturer of industrial radio control systems, recognised worldwide for the quality of its products, available as handheld remote controls or control panels.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
In particular, this technology improves the reliability of wireless communication in industrial environments where several pieces of radio equipment may be operating simultaneously, or where the radio spectrum is subject to interference.
FHSS can therefore be used in certain industrial radio control and remote control systems.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
Remote operation<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n
It allows the operator to maintain precise control of the machine whilst keeping them away from its immediate surroundings.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
exposure to risks to be minimised;<\/li>\n
Low latency is essential to ensure a good response time between the operator\u2019s actions, the commands sent to the vehicle and the feedback received from the machine.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
